x20xev from omega into corsa b or nova....

[ocdstigy]

hi all! ive aquired an omega with the x20xev engine,it runs absolutely perfectly only 61k on car shell and engine! so naturally i want the engine to transplant into something.

however i cant help that think being mounted transverse is gona cause me issue into a fromt wheel drive....anybody got any ideas whats involved for me to mount in a corsa b or nova? p.s its an automatic gearbox!

Same engine. Just different gear box and mounts.

So using the engine with a F20 or F16, normal conversion mounts and your sorted.

Or do you wanna go RWD?

As far as I'm aware the xev block is very similar to the z20 block, which in turn is similar to a c20. So mounting wise and gearbox wise you've got endless options. Depends what your planning on doing with it I suppose? I presume your going to fit a manual box and run fwd?

cheers for the replies! tbh id prefer to buy a corsa b and put the engine in it,i would like to use fwd and manual gearbox!

id assume a 16v corsa would be beneficial to me? opposed to a diesel or a 8valve 12v?

where can i buy the conversion kit? also what would the hub driveshaft amd exhaust setup have to be? also is itcorsa shocks n springs?

cheers
